A survey of 30 adults found that the mean age of a person’s primary vehicle is 5.6 years. Assuming the standard deviation of the population is .8 years, find the 95% confidence interval of the population mean.

x-bar = 5.6 yrs
---
ME = 1.96 = 0.2863
----------------
95% CI: 5.6-0.2863 < u < 5.6+0.2863
